Abby, Zoë and Enzo

You may think I'm going to write about getting the girls up, the breakfast routine, the showering and dressing routine, but no... it's the sweeping routine.  Every single morning either Chris or I have to spend a while sweeping the apartment because it looks like we haven't done it since we arrived.  Don't get me wrong, I like having tile, having white tile is another story.  It's not just because it's white that we have to sweep so often, though it does make things more noticable for sure.  We are baffled as to where the amount of dust and such comes from that we sweep up every morning.  Even the two days it rained and we stayed inside, hence not tracking in any dirt or sand, there was still enough to fill up the dustpan both days.  There's only 750 square feet, but it still takes a good 45 minutes to get everything swept up... longer if someone opens the balcony doors because then everything gets blown away.
